Senate Bill Would Allow Tsunami Contributions to be Deducted on 2004 Tax Returns
Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) joined with Ranking Minority Member Max Baucus (D-Mont.) yesterday in proposing to permit taxpayers to claim charitable deductions in tax year 2004 for donations they make for tsunami disaster relief until January 31, 2005, instead of having to wait until next year's filing season. Only cash gifts made specifically for disaster relief would be eligible.
